Morning Views; 22 July

 

 

1.

This day is definitely starting off two sizes too small

Having planned to write of dreams,

Angst,

and nature, without interruption

I woke in a sweat at four in the morning

Never mind the term rest,

Or dreaming at its worst;

And its been nothing but tasks of the home

That I’d rather burn down instead-

 ever since

 

2.

“but it would be going backwards, isn’t that what you said?”

“I was wrong, Its not going backwards- It’s picking up where we left off.”

“I just don’t know why, why did we let this happen?”

“I don’t know either, but it wont ever happen again.”

“I’ll come over..”

She’s never come home, but oh,

How I wait, both living, and dreaming.  

 

3.

She wanted to say something to me,

I could see it in her eyes the other night when we crossed each others’ sights

But she couldn’t- wouldn’t, we both know the reasons why

Then from behind me a voice I know all too well

“Do you want this?”

I braced myself and turned, facing an angel, a demon cherished

It took me a minute to find the drink she held up

So focused was I on beauty standing before me

My world, what should have been my only.

“I have to go.. do you want this..?”

She said, with a light mist in her eyes…

I took the drink, and drank it all in.
